PLAYLIST COMMANDS:

The player protocol implements two different techniques for managing playlists. If the player responds to the
“Supports LocalPlaylists” command the player must implement the playlist creation and replay commands. An
additional interface is provided allowing a control system to manage playlists locally.

ClearPlaylist

This command clears all the entries from the playlist identified by .

NOTE: Existing media file and/or playlist names that include spaces must be enclosed with quotes: “pre show”.

The Player will respond with

OK or ERROR

ListAllPlaylists

Returns a list of all the playlists stored in the server.

The player responds with a list of Playlist commands as follows…

Playlist

Where identifies a playlist.

The list is terminated with an empty Playlist message.

Example:

Playlist “Pre-Show”

Playlist “Main-Show”

Playlist

AddPlaylist

Adds a clip identified by located in the media path identified by to the playlist identified by
. Use this command to add a new Playlist as well as to add clips to an existing Playlist.

The Player will respond with

OK or ERROR

NOTE: Existing media file and/or playlist names that include spaces must be enclosed with quotes: “pre show”.

Example:

AddPlaylist “Pre-Show” “/media” “Intro.mpg”

AddPlaylist “Main-Show” “/media” “Main attraction.mpg”

The control system doesn’t need to terminate the playlist creation commands since the functionality is implied in
the command.
